“Checked with owner only 4steps down failed to say and a steep hillside.”

Then an 18 inch climb onto the deck for the front door. Almost impossible to find staffa up a twisting drive but owner came down into village to collect us, he said the recent storms had blown signs down but the visitors book said otherwise. Saturday we managed to climb back up then I repacked .Sykes got me this wonderful apartment nevis at fort William and my holiday was saved

“This was a repeat booking as we enjoyed it so much last year.”
Mrs Judson September 2019

“Had the most relaxing and chilled out holiday at this lovely cottage.”

Beautiful views out over the Loch that we never got bored of looking at. Cannot put into words how lovely the area is , around every corner is a different view. Seeing the Deers and Stags rolling in the mud will be something we will remember for a long time. Will return again soon .
Mr Weir July 2019

“A superb location with stunning views and handy as a base for visiting places ...”

A superb location with stunning views and handy as a base for visiting places like Mull and Iona etc The property lived up to your usual high standards
Mrs Atkins June 2019

“Gorgeous cabin with amazing views and a visiting pine martin who likes chocolate hobnob and sausages.”

The cabin has everything you might need and some much needed air con after the hot drive we had. We really enjoyed our stay and wouldnt hesitate to book again if we headed that way again. Fab cabin.

“We specifically booked this cottage as an accessible cottage.”

Sykes Cottages are completely ignorant of what accessible means. I am in a wheelchair and so when we parked in the allocated car park space it was only then we realised there was no access for a wheelchair, 4 large steps down to the cottage from the car park and one large step to access the property. There were no ramps. So we were forced to swap with our friends who were booked into a local hotel and this we were unable to share the accommodation with our daughter.. To say we were furious is an understatement , having travelled 300 plus miles and so soon after major surgery to then find we couldn’t access the property was a complete nightmare. We won’t be using Sykes in the future. The owners obviously know the property isn’t accessible as my daughter told us there were comments in the visitors book to that effect. Rubbish service form a sub-standard company..

Thank you for taking the time to complete our feedback form. It would have been advised to you that this property is not suitable for those with mobility issues, had you booked over the phone. As this is clearly displayed on our website and outlined in the property notes, we feel this property is adequately advertised and we make clear the fact that people such as yourself may have issues accessing the property. Please contact our customer relations department to discuss this further. Sykes owner relations

“The location of Staffa is ideal for exploring Morvern, Ardnamurchan, Glencoe and Fort William.”

It is set in a very tranquil area and is unaffected by light pollution. Over the two weeks of our holiday we have sighted Pine Martins on the patio, numerous times, helped by the peanut butter sandwiches we left out! Out and about we saw Deer, snakes, Eagle, seals, heron and countless birds. We found the lodge well equipped, warm and very comfortable. The access road is a little rough and steep but didn’t affect our rating as it was worth the the odd bump to enjoy the views afforded by the accommodation. Overall fantastic place and would recommend highly.

“Strontian is an excellent base for exploring Ardnamurchan, Morven and Mull.”

The cabin is well appointed and comfortable with stunning views. The location is far enough away to ‘get away from it all’, but close enough to reach the town of Fort William within an hour (slightly over the hour if you avoid the ferry, and take the coast road). There are two local shops, a post office and a petrol station (the closest shop is actually all three) - and an excellent pub/hotel at the bottom of the hill. Kilcamb Lodge offers top end food if you want to push the boat out, and there is another hotel I mile out of the village of Strontian, with a small artist studio opposite - well worth a visit. The ferry to Mull at Lochaline is a pretty drive, and Tobermory is another place to visit (you can also get across at Kilchoan - on the road to Ardnamurchan point and Lighthouse). The new Distillery at Glenborrowdale/ Glenbeg is in a beautiful setting and the tour is given by people who are passionate about what they do. The RSPB reserve and shop/coffee house is also nearby. Glenfinnan is about an hour away (Harry Potter viaduct) - spoiler; no flying Ford Anglia’s. I go back further - when Bonnie Price Charlie was still the star. The real star though is the countryside, and the view from the cabin is one of the best in Scotland. Have fun, and don’t worry about the weather - it will change in 30 minutes!

“The road to the property was not good but the views made up for this.”
Mrs Taylor March 2019

“Although there was a warning that there were four steps down to the property, it did not warn you that after the steps there was a steep slope to negotiate also.”
Mrs Arenibar March 2019

“This cabin is so homey and comfortable and has an amazing view.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and will definitely be booking again.
Mrs Rainbow November 2018

“The lodge was beautiful but not well signposted and I don't think it was emphasised enough that access is quite difficult.”

It is up a very steep hill and then down round a steep sharp bend. For some people this would be difficult, indeed one morning the hill was all ice and so it was difficult to get out. Apart from that it had everything we needed and was very clean, the views were beautiful.
Mrs Stewart August 2018

“This is our third holiday with Sykes, the first two have been great, but this one has been even better.”

The cottage had everything you need it with a beautiful view. We really love the area which is simply stunning. We we’ll go back.
Ms Moore August 2018

“We had electrical issues.”

The kettle socket had fused but was easily reset The shower only worked intermittently Reported to owner who hopefully will repair
Mrs Gaskell August 2018

“As a family of 4 we had a fantastic week at the Staffa.”

Stunning location with beautiful views across the Loch. The cabin was immaculate with everything you need. Would love to visit in the Autumn. Everyone in the village are very friendly and welcoming.

Seaview Cabins

These lovely detached Scandinavian pine cabins occupy an idyllic hillside position, offering stunning views across Loch Sunart on the fabulous Ardnamurchan Peninsula. Presented to a very high standard, these log cabins are perfect for families or groups of friends who will appreciate the stunning scenery, amazing wildlife and gentle pace of life in this wonderful part of the West Highlands of Scotland. From the cabins, it is just a short stroll downhill to the village of Strontian with its friendly local village shops, tourist information centre and cafe. Strontian is ideally placed for touring the whole of the Ardnamurchan Peninsula, with its gorgeous scenery and beaches. Visit Ardnamurchan Point and Lighthouse at the most westerly point on the British mainland and enjoy the peace and spectacular scenery from the top of the tower. The area is rich in things to do, and with Loch Sunart on the doorstep, guests can bring a small boat and take advantage of the local slipway and enjoy some watersports. For those looking for a beautiful sandy beach, then drive along the winding single track road to Sanna Bay and discover the white shell sand and turquoise waters. Take the car and explore the west coast and visit Glenfinnan monument, see the Hogwart's Express and the Harry Potter viaduct en-route to the busy fishing village of Mallaig, where the ferry across the sea to Skye can be taken; or catch the ferry across to the Isle of Mull and visit Tobermory for a day.
